Introduced and chaired by the LSE Provost and distinguished communications policy researcher, Professor Robin Mansell, Philip's discussants were the leading cultural analyst, Professor Angela McRobbie of Goldsmiths', University of London and Professor Jonothan Neelands, a creative educationist at the University of Warwick. A lively Q&A session followed.
